I was in a hurry and grab pants that were too small, and forgot they were too small because they FIT!

20 lbs is a huge difference, you better celebrate the hell out of that milestone =)

ALL OF THIS YASSSSSS!!!!!

IDK if I would give that kind of advice. As a vegan, it is not a "fad". I have done "fads" and this actually lasts. I am not hungry (which I HATED battling with my body over what I put in my mouth) and I have broken part of the ugly cycle of the SAD. There are entirely too many vegans out there doing it and doing it well…

Yeah... I am currently busting it in the face... I eat a vegan high carb low fat diet.. down 25 lbs in 3 months...exercised 4 times? Although I am fairly active with my work duties etc... I still drink alcohol, still have sugar.. might snack on some plain chips when I am desperate and out in the field without my vegan…

ALSO, if one of your goals is clear skin... my skin went through HELL... I mean literal hell... BUT from some of the youtube videos I binged on this is natural, and breakouts could last up to six months since thats how long it takes your body to purge the animal proteins. SO be patient with yourself and the process, vegan…

The biggest challenge you will have as a vegan? It is not finding yummy food because once you get in the kitchen (because you MUST cook IMO), it is battling against everyone who will try to derail you, tempt you and frown upon what you are doing. The community response and cultural norms are difficult to break for many. To…

I cannot WAIT to try this!!! Vegan food items are finally coming down in price, but It would just be nice to make enough to experiment with some of my fav dishes. Thanks!

I just hit my 90 day vegan mark. I do not really track since my weightloss has been so awesomely steady, but I still come for the emotional support and I have created some really awesome accidents!

Consider cutting back on meat and dairy, it will start making you feel better instantly..

So, I am just going to throw this out there... went vegan 7 weeks ago, and I am down 22 pounds.. I have never felt better, skin is losing all traces of acne, I have exercised TWICE and I eat All....Day....Long.... I am happy and content, dont miss meat and dairy, and pretty sure I can lose another 20 by Christmas at…

I transitioned to vegan about 3 and a half weeks ago, best thing I could have ever done for myself seriously! I would love to get a group going for vegans, even a FB group to get more active with it!

Alloy has been a HUGE lifesaver for me.. they have inseams up to 37 inches I believe and carry SEVERAL different brands of really cute pairs in all types of sizes and lengths...

This was absolutely hilarious.... Breasts always seem to be the first to go -_-.....

You are going to be SUCH an inspiration to so many people... #GETIT

I wish I could help more, but I am running Android. Did you go into the garmin connect (desktop) version and enable the syncing? I also went to the app page on MFP and made sure that it was registering that garmin connect syncing is working.

Got my vivoactive.. and I am in here like swimwear! I have 100 pounds to go.. time to get it!! Add me on Garmin Connect too Lady_Day!

I struggled with this too for a long ti me until a guy friend of mine chugged an entire water bottle in one go... when I asked what was the hurry he said he couldnt STAND water... but as a boxer he had to do it so he chugged it everytime.. so I tried chugging and it really does help.. get it over with quickly and…

I tried to find you but could not for some reason? My name is Lady_Day!

Just got my Garmin! Lets go! https://connect.garmin.com/modern/profile/Lady_Day

I believe there is a way to set your tracker to measure your exact stride. I just got mine today.. but this is part of what I researched before purchase

Hey that is amazing! I am in Atlanta too Ashley, and It can definitely be difficult with so much going on in the city. I am sorry to hear about your family *angry baby face* but I am here to tell you that you can do it! I went into severe depression when I realized one day what my body had done over time... then I realized…

What I am learning and this journey, since I am just now starting over ONCE again, is that portion control is everything. A scale.. is everything. What you may be eyeballing may in fact be incorrect, and when you eat the regular things you used to and only do smaller portions you are HUNGRY... especially if you are working…

Gotta love how long it takes us taller ladies to lose a size.. I know when I was really active in college it took like 25 almost thirty pounds to SQUEEZE from a 12 to a 10...dress that is.. it would have taken another 10 for just the pants. Just commit to the long haul and when you look up it will be shopping time!

Still fairly new, but in there like swimwear!

I think this is an extremely sound piece of wisdom. I know I get excited with every dip in the scale but that really IS only the beginning.. as you age and things slow down, you have to keep the energy going.. never give up.. NEVER SURRENDER!!!

LMAO... Let me TELLL YOU... So I just did day five... I am young... overweight but always had some muscle tone... I have had to take two sets of two day breaks from this. I make SURE I do the form and if I have to take a break I hit pause so I dont miss any of the exercise. The first break I couldn't walk down stairs and…

I feel your pain.. I have been wearing a size 12 since middle/high school.. and EVERYTHING in the store stops at size 11... which is funny... because when I was in middle school EVERYTHING stopped at a size 10.. so... maybe there is hope they will get it together? I am 5'10 too btw

I have shopped at Alloy.com for years... while alot of the super cute studded/embroidered/trendy stuff isnt in tall.. they still have a HUGGEEEE selection of pants up to 37 inch inseams and when they have stuff on sale I can snatch up stuff for 10 bucks sometimes and you can always find those E-coupons for it. With out…

HEY LADIES!! I am 24 and 5'10... I am currently 243 and and busting my BEHIND to hit 200 by my 25th in May=) Add me!
